Prices and trading

The base sell price is the catalog value used for selling. It is not a player market estimate. Shop purchase prices, stock and special currencies are listed separately when a source exists.

Equipped spell fuel

Equip this stack in Ammo before casting. Only the equipped essence type is consumed; there is no automatic fallback or mixing. Arrows and essence share the Ammo slot. Concentrated fuel adds 5% direct spell damage; healing, wards and later Burn ticks are unchanged. Each spell pays its normal costs, including staff discount and free-hand surcharge. Spells can be repeated while action points and enough equipped essence remain.

How to make or recover

Each row is one operation. Full costs and requirements apply before starting. Recipe pages describe quality, burn chance, recovery rolls and field alternatives where relevant.
